YOUNGANDTIRED…. Dr. Gonto

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • I recommend anyone whose dog is "probably affected" or diagnosed with Fanconi to make contact with Dr. Gonto.

    I got in touch with him via email earlier this week,and he is already proving to be
    incredibly helpful.

    As you know from previous posts, he answered all of my questions on 'pre-treating' the Probably Affected dog; He sent me to Amazon.com for the cheapest test strips – 100 strips for under $18.00 : search for Chemstrips uGK urine test strips for glucose and ketones.

    Also sent me a letter to forward to my veterinarian, with various links and his personal contact info, so the vet can study up and get info BEFORE Jazz is ever even diagnosed.

    You can find his email at the bottom of this info. page. http://www.basenjicompanions.org/health/fanconi/gonto.html

    NemoN
    I ordered a test kit for Nemo since he was having what looked like a bad case of inflammatory bowel disease. I had suspicions of some food intolerances and I was going to trial this test to see if it came back with results which were consistent with what I observed. For instance he has always had issues with chicken so I was curious if it would indicate an intolerance. Unfortunately the full panel wasn't available until February and I got the test kit at a point where he was too ill for the test to be of any real use, so I never used it. So, I will be curious to see if it is worth the expense in the future. As much of a pain as food issues are, it would be worth the money for me if it actually works.
